| Comments: Wayne, it was fun to browse your site. What an incredible tune list! I think you're allowed a little memory jog with that many to pull out of the memory banks! Say, we're really enjoying the Calliope House CD. Rachel had a hard time parting with it to go on her mission trip. And we all enjoyed your playing at the recital last week! I was afraid Kerry was going to jiggle the video he was running, he was tapping and clapping so enthusiastically! We can't wait to hear more. I'm telling my worship pastor all about you. Would you be interested in coming down to Wildwood Community Church in Norman to play for morning worship some time? |

| Instruments Played: #1 Fiddle, Banjo-used to make them-how I got to be known as "Banjo Billy", Banjolin, Banjouke, Mandolin, Guitar. |
| Band: I have been an old time traditional musician for over thirty years and have played with "The Skirtlifters", and currently fiddle with several people: The contra dance band "Ozark Traditions", a.k.a.

I also play with Colin Blair of St. Louis, Jim Eyeman of Champaing/Urbana, Illinois, Cowboy Christ Gudgel of Nebraska's Flying G Music, and Sydney Martin of Colorado. I have several music workshops each year at my farmhouse in Osage, Arkansas and will be conducting two workshops, and advanced fiddle workshop and a frailing banjo workshop at Jim Curley's Mountain Music Shoppe's "The Shack" in Shawnee, KS on January 18, 2003. http://www.mountainmusicshoppe.com I am a fulltime musician -NO DAY JOBS!! Which allows me to oput in a full day's work playing music-what I love to do best. I also write origional old time traditional style tunes and also collect obscure tunes from old fiddlers- "if they can rightly remember" The first of my collection of origional tunes on CD is called "Rougue's Buffet", and has been highly praised by Jim Nelson, writer/folklorist for "The Old Time Music Herald", and D.A. Callaway, of Silver Dollar City, it is only available through me, and a few select places such as: "The Mountain Music Shoppe and Zeke's On the Square" in Mountain View Arkansas, but will be available on line shortly. |

| Wayne,I first began a love of traditional/Americana/bluegrass/bluegrass
gospel/folk, or whatever particular category PLSB might be placed in,
some 6 or 7 years ago at Six Flags due to the wonderful music of Prairie Land
String Band and I thank you ever so much for starting me on this
wonderful
musical journey! And, as I haven't had the privilege and joy of hearing
PLSB at Six Flags for about the last 3 or 4 years, I just wondered if there
would be a chance I'd ever get to see you guys there in the near future - I
sure miss you every September at the Heritage Days theme of the park.
I try to play a little banjo and wish you the very best. Nice job on the web site,
too, I might add. Bless you, Joe Sewelljsewell@omega-studios.com |

| slowey - 07/30/00 03:35:17 My e-mail:slowey@webzone.net | Comments: Thanks for your interest shown to fiddling. I founded sponsored The World Series of Fiddling. I had to front it myself or MC it as they say for 17 years. I held 24 festivals is Oklahoma through the years and never made a dime on them.When they sold Powderhorn park I quit. They have the fiddlers memorial up there which I ended up being held responsible for. There are over 2000 deceased fiddleres in it from all over the world But that filled the building and I have a lot of fiddlers names here at the shop with nowhere to hang them. Such fiddlers as Curly Fos, Ace Sewell and even Chubby Wise. So I am throughly familiar as to how much help you can get where fiddlers are concerned. slowey@webzone.net |
